What the lawyer fails to mention is it was reported that Pretti's weapon supposedly went off...now there's no way to determine from a **** video, it it went off first, or where it was at the time, but the other officers wouldn't know that...right?
MN CCP law states it's
your duty to retreat when confronted...an epic fail that's on Pretti
I.C.E. , FBI, ATF, DEA, etc are not trained for crowd control, that's what police are trained for. That's on Frey for not allowing them to engage with I.C.E. for crowd control...
I.C.E., FBI, ATF, DEA, etc are trained to end the threat when a gun comes out, as are the military...they are trained to react immediately...IE, no conference calls, huddles, etc...
it's very tragic that Pretti threw away his life over something so stupid and preventable abandoning his wife and children...that's on him, tampon and all the other **** idiots pushing these people into harms way for a political agenda...
AI Overview
Based on video analysis and witness reports, Alex Pretti’s gun did not go off; rather, federal agents shot and killed him after they had already disarmed him
. Evidence indicates that an agent removed Pretti's handgun from his waistband just before the shots were fired, with one agent heard saying "I got the gun" seconds after the incident.
- Evidence Against Discharge: Multiple videos, including those analyzed by CNN and other news outlets, show a Border Patrol agent removing the weapon from Pretti’s waistband while he was on the ground.
- Video Contradicts Official Claim: While officials initially suggested a defensive shooting, forensic analysis of the footage shows the agent in the gray jacket was behind Pretti and that the gun was already secured.
- Initial Action: Pretti was holding a cell phone, not a gun, in the moments before being tackled and pinned.
- Sequence of Events: After the gun was removed, agents fired approximately ten shots in five seconds, continuing even after Pretti was motionless
.
Therefore, evidence indicates that Pretti did not brandish or fire his weapon, and he was shot after being disarmed by authorities
